Can’t get away? Make our Turtle Chocolate Pecan Crepes for Lovers and your sweetheart may forgive you! We were thinking about how to create a pancake breakfast with the flavors of the classic Turtle candy ~ perhaps adding mini chocolate chips and pecans into pancakes and topping with a caramel pecan sauce. We decided that was great for breakfast, but not indulgent enough for a Valentine’s dessert, so that’s’ how Turtle Chocolate Pecan Crepes were born. The recipe is easy to make ahead so you can just warm the crepes and sauce and assemble at the last minute. If you don’t have time to make the crepes, purchase some at the grocery store along with the caramel sauce.

When your sweetheart swoons over the crepes on Valentine’s Day, tell that special someone you have made a reservation for a romantic weekend at the Inn at Ellis River later this year!
